Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-[4-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-[2-[tert-butoxycarbonyl(2-pyridyl)amino]ethyl]amino]cyclohexyl]acetate (968 mg, 1.91 mmol) in THF (3 mL); methanol (3 mL) and water (6 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (397 mg, 9.7 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred for 2.25 hr, then acidified to pH 3 with 1 N HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (4 times). The combined organic extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica chromatography (10 g silica; eluted with 40-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give the title compound as a 6:1 mixture of trans:cis isomers.
